I am very happy to report, at last feel like I have turned the corner with this blooming illness.
Although knowing me, I won't hold my breath just yet, maybe thats a good thing considering I can hardly breath some days lol

Anyhoo, I've been making a selection of wedding cards, as when the next charity event arrives, we should be heading towards that wonderful Moon and Spoon time ( soppy old romantic here lol)
As you can see, the bottom card , is a pop-up wedding carriage. I hope you like
I'm on a roll as I need to do some more, cos I know my daughter will be wanting at least 2 so off I jolly well go to my room to play.
Take care all xxx

After being grounded YET again, I decided to lock myself in my craft room and start on some bits for the next York Kidney Patient Association Fund raising event in March. as it will be coming up to the wedding season, I decided to make some wedding horseshoes,I made 3 in various sizes, but personally I prefer the smaller one.

I've also being doing a selection of Easter cards and some general cards too.

As I have quite a selection of cards already made, I decided to get in touch with the St Leonards Hospice in York, As some of you may know I have had personal experience of the wonderful work they do, and I have been asked to make some crafty bits for their summer sale and also to sell in their local charity shops. This is a charity very close to my heart so I am really happy to be part of the fund raising.

I said I was going to blog more often, and here I am lol, I hope its a good year for us all as 2011 had a few problems family wise .

I've managed a crafty day today, I keep promising myself some "ME" time ,but somehow it gets chewed up with other things, but today I've done a few cards.

The image on these three are from a stamp called Lizzie and I imported her into my Silhouette cuttting machine and put her in a fancy frame then coloured her and masde her into a card.

One of crafty "spesh" friends, is having an operation on her foot tomorrow, so she will be resting up for a while, and getting to grips with the silhoutte software, so I am really looking forward to seeing what she does!!!! (ahem ! I hope you're taking note Lady!lol)

I've also added the two "spesh" Christmas presents I made, as I couldn't add them before. Opps I just remembered I can only still add the one ,watch this space ; lol

About Me

A very young at heart 60 yr old married mother of 2 boys and 1 daughter and 3 grandsons.
My hobby is crafting and I have been making my own cards now for almost 4years. I have always enjoyed various crafts but due to arthritus mainly in my hands and wrists, knitting and cross stitch are now a distant memory.I have made alot of friends via the DC forum where my forum name is Chrissydurr. I make my cards for various charities and at the moment I am doing them to send to our brave boys and girls in the forces, serving in Afghanistan.My crafting lately has been a bit hit and miss due to the fact we have a new puppy. Millie is now 6 months old and a bundle of fun and mischief, she is a lemon and white cocker spaniel and our baby.Most of my crafting items have been pinched and hidden, along with my mobile phone which she quietly chewed and left battered and forlorn in her basket lol
